Wave of airstrikes targeted underground IRGC weapons research and development site — IDF

A subterranean weapons research and development complex was bombed as part of a wave of airstrikes in Tehran overnight, the IDF says.

The military says the Israeli Air Force hit “vital infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime” as part of the strikes in the capital.

One of the strikes targeted a weapons research and development complex of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps at Imam Hossein University, the IRGC’s military academy.

“At this complex, the IDF struck an underground route where the armed forces of the IRGC conducted experiments and tests for ballistic missile development and production processes,” the military says.

In addition, the IDF says it also struck infrastructure at the main headquarters of the Quds Force, the extraterritorial arm of the IRGC, along with other weapons production sites and air defense systems.

The IDF says the strikes are part of a new stage of the war aimed at “deepening the blow to the core arrays of the Iranian terror regime and its foundations.”
